p.rickly heat rash on face

[miss.cinders]

thanks blackrose, I put a little bit of the moogoo MSM cream on it last night and again this morning and it hasn't cleared it up but I think it's taken some of the redness out. We took him to get weighed again from the community health nurse and there was a different lady there who said it's just hormonal from my breast milk and it will be gone by about 6 weeks. The reason I thought it was p rickly heat rash was because the nurse last week told us that was what it was... anyway I just want it to go away but am happy it's nothing to serious

Yep that's my thought with your babe being so new
All mine got it.

It's probably just milk rash (or whatever it's called). Totally normal hormonal thing that unfortunately looks bad, but will clear on it's own. Probably best not to put anything on it.

Yep, DD had a shocking case of it (think they called it neonatal rash) over just one half of her face. The right side, and it flared up alot because she slept with her head to the right, so it was nice and hot and inflamed whenever she woke. Lasted just over a week then cleared up as quick as it came on. We took photos from the left side for that week lol
